Maybe you can add the verify step to the transmission-daemon init
script.  Or, better, you could create a wrapper script that starts the
daemon and then does the verify.

I know, still shitty.  

Also, this sucks because I just started using transmission-daemon
instead of the GTK version in F12, and I've become rather fond of it!  I
was planning on setting it up on F15.  Fail.
